Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #3 – Panathinaikos Points Points Over 77.5 – 1.765.
Saski Baskonia is in crisis right now, so they probably won’t beat Panathinaikos easily. In the first-round game, the Greeks won. In that regard, we’d say Radonjic’s side should be favoured.
Panathinaikos is not very good on the road. In 3 of their last 4 away games, the Greeks have not even scored 70 points. It’s likely that the visitors won’t be able to produce much in their encounter with Baskonia. Breaking the 167.5-point mark would be very difficult.
The Greeks have scored more than 77 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
Saski Baskonia is in danger of losing their place in the play-off zone, as the Spaniards have been acting too insecure lately. They lost 5 of their previous 6 games. The only victory against Anadolu Efes. They defeated Efes with a score of 114-111. After that, however, Penarroya’s men suffered a loss away from Olimpia Milano (83-89).
In the game against Olimpia, Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot scored 17 points and 4 rebounds.
Baskonia is currently sixth in the Euroleague table. However, another defeat could drop the Spaniards lower.
Saski Baskonia has won 82% of its home games of the season.
The hosts are scoring an average of 85.5 points per game.
Panathinaikos is still unable to climb out of the bottom of the standings. The Athens-based side has only eight wins under their belt. As a result, they sit 15th on the table.
Panathinaikos played their last game away against Real Madrid. The Greeks put up no resistance against the Spaniards. No matter how hard Radonjic’s team tried, they lost the game with a blowout score of 68-83. In that match, Guerschon Yabusele scored 16 points and 7 rebounds.
Panathinaikos has lost 82% of its away encounters.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Saski Baskonia: Darius Thompson – Vanja Marinković – Rokas Giedraitis – Daulton Hommes – Maik Kotsar.
Panathinaikos: Nate Wolters – Georgios Kalaitzakis – Dwayne Bacon – Derrick Williams – Georgios Papagiannis.
The fixture will be played at Fernando Buesa Arena (15.504) in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
This starting whistle will sound on the 3rd of February 2023, at 19:30 UK Time.
